We're Back!

We pulled into the driveway about 10:00 last night and although it feels good to be home we truly miss the mountains not to mention the 30-35 degree cooler weather! No joke, as you can see we were wearing jackets and pants in Breckenridge! The weather was absolutely gorgeous!!! There were several times yesterday while driving home we wanted to just turn around and go back!!! We are already looking forward to our next trip to the mountains, hoping it's sooner than later! 

Colorado or Bust!

We are preparing for a family trip to Colorado, we're leaving tomorrow and I am SO ready! 

Ready for family time, ready for cooler weather (highs there are mid 60's, highs here are mid to upper 90's!) bring it on!, ready for crisp mountain air, ready for hiking, biking, shopping, campfires, ready for being one with nature, ready for watching the kids see the mountains for the first time, ready for a break from the mundane routines of everyday life, ready for a date night with my hubby while we're there, ready for fun, ready to make new memories! 

Hoping that I can get over (or at least mostly over) this cold before we hit the road, hoping no one gets altitude sickness (or any sickness for that matter) while we're there, hoping it's not too chilly, hoping I don't forget to bring anything, hoping for sunshine and little or no rain, hoping I still want to stay another day when it's time to leave because, it's always better to wish for more time than to be ready to go!

Noelle and I have been on a High Seas Expedition with our church's VBS this week. We've had a great time! I've had the joy of leading her group of kids (her and 5 boys!). We've learned new songs, played games, made some fun crafts, eaten some fun snacks and learned a lot about our God! We've learned that God's Word is true, comforting, surprising, life-changing & for everyone! This definitely ranks up there as a highlight of our Summer. It's been great to experience this week together with her! 

Welcome Summer!

This weekend is the unofficially beginning to Summer and I think the kids and I are SO ready for the fun and adventure that lies ahead! We've already gotten a taste of it this week after setting up the sprinkler yesterday, the only thing missing were the popsicles! :)
